Comedy gold out of Edmonton

So if Taylor Hall fetches Adam Larsson, I have to think any trade involving RNH or Eberle fetches significantly less. Oh well.

Rumor has it the Devils are close on a Nugent-Hopkins for Seth Helgeson so....

Notice he didn't say they were wrong...just piling on.

I'm at a loss for words about the Hall for Larsson trade. Just WOW!!

Dooooooo Eeeeeeeeeeeeet

Lol


Closer to value, at least

So much for the McJesus will help bring guys to Edmonton theory that a lot of Edmonton media pundits continue to bandy about.

He'll do a much better job luring them to Toronto.

This will certainly go over well with Oilers fans...

After sending Taylor Hall to New Jersey, Oilers should put No. 4 up in rafters to honour Kevin Lowe

It would be a welcome change if the organization and the city could just let a player be traded without feeling the need to drag their name through the mud. Jason Arnott, Mike Comrie, Sheldon Souray, Chris Pronger and others have endured the same.

Jason Gregor, one of the few media guys in Edmonton who isn't a Lowe or MacT apologist (Terry Jones is the worst).

Has Hall been dragged?

It's an Edmonton tradition upon trading one of their top players, BBB.

I know, just wondering if it's happened to Hall yet.

Also, keep in mind who their GM is.

I think it was a few months in the making for Hall, no? Who was is that said McDavid was the good influence on Hall a few months back? Insinuated that McDavid was more a leader/professional than Hall was

Not sure, but I know there was a few pieces that claimed Chia thought Hall was "untouchable".

I think Adam Larsson has the potential to be a pretty good defenseman, but that Oilers defence corps still looks pretty shaky to me. I also think that Chiarelli is starting to realize than guys like RNH and Eberle don't have near the trade value that they used to have.

also heard rumblings that Hall had ostracized Yakupov in the room as Yak wasn't a party boy like Hall et all.

for media guys, Dan Tencer is the absolute worst.
just hot garbage.

Dash he's already better than pretty good. What you've got to realize is that with the young D group the Devils had he was not only playing against all the other teams top lines but out for most of the D zone draws and 1st team PK. I think he is a much better offensive player than his numbers show because of that. Problem will be in NJ at least he had a real solid vet (Andy Greene) to be paired with in Edmonton....

All that said we still got the best of it...just not by as much as people think
